个人简介
In Washington, Dr. Kent was among the first in the national capital area to have used the procedure to clear blocked coronary arteries. He performed balloon angioplasties on tens of thousands of patients, and he taught and advised hundreds of cardiologists nationally and internationally on its techniques and procedures.
The process involves the insertion of a tiny wire into an artery in the groin from which it can guide a tiny balloon to the blocked coronary artery. Reaching the blockage, the balloon is inflated, clearing space for blood to flow more freely to the heart. A stent of tiny wires can then be inserted to keep the passageway clear. Patients often experience immediate relief from their symptoms of angina or shortness of breath.
The process is less invasive and less painful than heart bypass surgery, which can involve cutting open the sternum into the chest cavity to access the blocked coronary arteries, and then harvesting a vein from a leg. The post-surgical recovery is quicker, and the risk of post-surgical complications is less, both in the hospital and at home.
Until he retired at age 75, Dr. Kent had a private medical practice in cardiology, and he also practiced and taught at Georgetown University Hospital, Washington Hospital Center, the National Institutes of Health and Suburban Hospital.
